This is my first post, but I've been working with Metasploit quite a bit over the summer, and am looking to dive deeper into it. I have access (university library) to Metasploit: The PenTester's Guide. Uni starts next week and I'll have a busy schedule, but I'll try to be around as much as I can.

I just read through this thread and must say it sounds pretty awesome.

I'm a total beginner though, so would you advice me learning some other stuff before I start with metasploit unleashed or is it possible to just look everything up I don't understand/know during the course? (I know it will take a lot more time than usual, this way)

Ok, I've been seeing a lot of new faces lately, and lot of you are very new to hacking. I want to get another round of Metasploit Unleashed going again. From now until February 1st if you are new and want to learn some really cool stuff and/or have been putting off going through this course in the past, go ahead and get setup! On the 1st I'll open up an irc channel and we can go through the material together.

This is about as close to being mentored as one is going to get in the hacking world.
